Application filed December 13, 1892. Serial No. 454,979- (No model.) Patented in SwedenMay 19, 1892, No. 3,723 i in Austria- Hnngary May 10, 1892, No. 82,216 and No. 13,613, and in Germany August 15, 1892. No. 63,615.

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J OHANNES ANDERSSEN,

a subject of the King of Sweden and Norway,

and a resident of Maridalsveien 72, Christiania, Norway, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Cigar-Holders, (patented in Sweden May 19, 1892, No. 3,723; in Germany August 15, 1892, No. 63,615, and in Austria-Hungary May 10, 1892, No. 82,216 and No. 13,613,) of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved mouth-piece or holder for cigars, by means of which the end of a cigar need not be cut off when required for smoking and it can be smoked quite out without any part being wasted whereby great economy is effected. By a special arrangement the nicotine is prevented from entering the mouth and the mouth-piece or holder will never become foul. The cigar may be placed in any position whatever upon the mouth-piece, either at right angles, obliquely or with the lighted end toward the smoker. From this it will be seen that the improved mouth-piece possesses great advantages.

In order to enable the invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by reference to the accompanying drawings in which t Figure 1, is a sectional view through the holder; Fig. 2, a detail sectional view of the plug. Fig. 3, is aview of the holder adapted to receive a cigar in the bulb or nicotine receptacle.

1) represents the stem having a screw threaded end to receive the bulb or receptacle 0 adapted to catch the nicotine when the cigar is smoked by placing it upon the hollow perceive it.

forated spike d which is inserted as shown in the stem. The bulb c, is then held downward and the nicotine drains into it in an obvious manner.

Instead of placing the cigar on the spike in which case it is not necessary to out off the cigar tip, the smoker may by cutting 0% said tip place the cigar or the stump thereof in the bulb c by removing the screw plug g, from the opening g of said bulb. In this case itis necessary to close the openings of the spike against the inlet of air and this is done by placing the plug g which has an internal screw thread as well as an external one, over the spike d which is threaded externally to re- This plug as shown in Fig. 3 then acts as the nicotine receptacle. This latter method of using the holder is partially adapted to smoking the short end of the cigars.

What I claim is 1. In a cigar holder the combination of the""6'o tube 6, having a hollow perforated spike d, thereon, and the receptacle 0 havinga socket to receive the cigar and the plug for closing said socket, substantially as described.

2. In a cigar holder, the combination of the tube b, the hollow perforated spike d thereon, the receptacle 0 having a socket for receiving the end of the cigar, and the hollow plug adapted to fit into said socket or over the spike, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name, in presence of two witnesses, this 27th day of October, 1892.
